    Hey all, just signed up on the forums!

    This past Wednesday, I bought sixers of Namaste and Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin. Just now, I noticed that the Namaste was bottled in late-December, over six months ago. Now, I don't know how/where they were stored inside the distributor for the past half year, but I'm wondering whether or not they'll be good to drink tonight.

    Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

    I actually had some Namaste today that was about the same age and it tasted great

    It will most likely be ok, but 6 months for a low abv beer is not something I would spend my money on very often. If it's Cantillon on the other hand...

    Either way it's cool that this beer is now in 6ers and giving people a way better price per ounce.

    Just remembered to check back in here, the beer tasted fine. Obviously not an ideal situation, but I enjoyed it. Would probably buy again for a barbecue or something. Now the search is on for the Beer Camp 12-pack!
